    Tips on posting on the forums.

    1. Post a clear title like ‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question.
       
    2. Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title.
      I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on.
       
    3. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
       
      Again – You want to make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
     
    Leading too:

    exclamation-point.pngPost straightforward questions and then post background information.
     
     
    Examples:
     
    • Question A. I was previously denied for apnea – Should I refile a claim?
      • Adding Background information in your post will help members understand what information you are looking for so they can assist you in finding it.
    Rephrase the question: I was diagnosed with apnea in service and received a CPAP machine, but the claim was denied in 2008. Should I refile?
     
    • Question B. I may have PTSD- how can I be sure?
      • See how the details below give us a better understanding of what you’re claiming.
    Rephrase the question: I was involved in a traumatic incident on base in 1974 and have had nightmares ever since, but I did not go to mental health while enlisted. How can I get help?
     
    This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”

    You’ve just been rated 100% disabled by the Veterans Affairs. After the excitement of finally having the rating you deserve wears off, you start asking questions. One of the first questions that you might ask is this: It’s a legitimate question – rare is the Veteran that finds themselves sitting on the couch eating bon-bons … Continue reading

I've sent a claim in to be reopened 8 months ago with supporting diagnosis from private doctors. I've been told that my claim has been in the rating board since feb 08. My question is: should I have been scheduled for a C&P exam by now?

Since they have already looked at it and you provided Medical Evidence it is slightly possible but my gut feeling is no C&P and no award

Hang in there and good luck

I think it will depend on the medical evidence that you submitted. I have been awarded claims without attending C/P's.

I quote Va Handbook 1601E.01 dated 3 Apr 2006 below:

Veterans may submit claims to the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) for service-connected compensation or non-service-connected pension benefits. If a disability rating needs to be assessed or if the veteran does not provide sufficient documentation to establish a claim for disability compensation, a medical examination may be provided. Generally, these examinations are provided by a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care facility (HCF); however, in some circumstances reports submitted by a private physician may be accepted. In some instances, examinations by non-VA providers may be authorized at VA expense.

Hey i have to agree with Carlie, i feel that if there is enough evidence(current?) for the Rater to roll without a CP exam, he will.

On the otherhand, for example if he needs to confirm for rating purposes, such as "Joints"... range of motion, swelling, periods of incapcitating episodes, gait, etc,.. he may want you to be physically seen by an examiner, to provide guidance on his rating percentage he may or may not assign. just my take only on it..Peace, William
